The Official Rules! Mar 1, 2008 22:55:22 GMT -6

Post by Hollywood on Mar 1, 2008 22:55:22 GMT -6

Note to all newbies: Once you have read the rules of each section here in this thread, you must make a post in the thread linked below stating that you have read and understood the rules, or else risk not being booked:
snwefed.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lockerroom&action=display&thread=6430

First off, the rules of the message board in general...

1) No flaming whatsoever. Joking around with someone is fine, but be sure to make it obvious that it's a joke, such as posting a smilie, j/k, KIDDING!, etc.

2a)No nudity! If you're unsure about posting a pic, just PM me.
2b)If posting a link that directs to anything NSFW(not safe for work, ie nudity, obscene language, etc), you MUST warn the members that the link is NSFW.

3)No topic spamming. The Wheels Off Topic board is the only place where post-whoring is allowed.

4) No harassment of other members. If you have a problem with someone that posts here and you want to be a member here, then just ignore their posts. But if someone you don't like being here is such an issue, then it's probably best that you don't sign up here.

5) No alter egos. In other words, only one account per user.

6) So as to not stretch the pages on this site, please keep the width of all images(sigs, etc) to 560-600 or less. Any images that stretch the page will be made smaller by me if my request to make it smaller is ignored.

7) To the moderators: If I or another mod locks a thread, do not reply to it even though as a mod you have the ability to reply to locked threads. They are locked for a reason.

8) PMing people about your efed or message board or posting a thread advertising it without permission from a staff member is disallowed. You can, however, post a link to your site or efed in your signature, but ONLY if you have received permission from me or only after 10 posts(whichever happens first). First time violation will result in your account being suspended for one week. Second time, you're gone.

9) Do not post wrestling related spoilers in the title of your threads. However, you can post a thread with a spoiler in it if you give it a vague thread title, i.e. "Smackdown Spoilers." Also, there are people on here who live in other parts of the world that do not get to watch wrestling programming the first night it's available here in North America. Some people have to wait a few days. Please be respectful of this and do NOT post actual results in the title of your thread, i.e. "NEW WWE CHAMPION! OMG! LOL" However, you can post "Monday Night Raw results." That way, people know whether or not they want to click on the thread.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SNW E-fed rules and somesuch.

1) First and foremost, refer to the Sign Up Guidelines and RP Guidelines. They are in this same thread below this post, so there is no excuse not to know those guidelines.

2) SNW runs bi-weekly, meaning we have shows every other week. This gives the writing team ample time to put forth the best show possible and to get shows up on time, as well as giving RPers as much time as they need to get an RP done, and even RP elsewhere if they desire.

3) The limit of wrestlers per handler is 4, and the limit of managers per handler is 2.

4) No shooting on other efeds or characters in RPs or SNW.com(the newsboard). This is something all of us at one time or another(me included) have been guilty of, but from my past experience, it just creates more headaches than you want to deal with. Take it from someone who's made this mistake. Now if the shoot is part of an angle(i.e., you really have no beef with anyone, you're just trying to build a certain type of persona for your character), please PM me about it, and we'll go from there.

5) No racial or sexual slurs in your roleplays. Also, no raping or killing of random people in RPs. A camera would be where your character is, and as sleazy as Gordon Heath is, he would never have a rapist or killer on his roster.

6) The deadline for all shows will be set when I post the match cards.

7) No attacking of or use of other handlers' wrestlers/managers without their permission. If you have their permission, you must post an OOC note stating you have permission. Also, no attacking of SNW staff members(announcers, interviewers, etc), with the exception of interviewer Bob Sturm. He can be abused as much as you like ;D

8) There will be no roleplay limits. However, it is quality over quantity.

9) While I do have a staff on hand that are on hand as an advisory board of sorts(a championship committee, if you will), much like Vince McMahon, I have the final say on everything efed related.

10) If you would like to contribute a segment to a show to help advance a storyline, that is fine(in fact, it's encouraged). Please send any and all segments to me, unless otherwise noted.

11) Do not talk down about other efedders and their perceived skill level. You can offer advice to other efedders about how to improve, but no snide comments such as "Oh, they'll get beat in a squash match," or the like.

12) Knowing when you are booked is YOUR responsibility. We are not your babysitters, and won't always be able to tell you if you're booked. Now if there are dire circumstances, such as you won't be able to log in for some amount of time, then we can make arrangements to let you know if you're booked, but do NOT take advantage of this as we have lives too. It only takes about five minutes to log onto the boards and look in the Upcoming Cards to see if you're booked.

13) I will NOT tolerate ANYONE here disrespecting my authority here, and will NOT tolerate bitching about wins and losses, as well as what kind of match your character is booked in(especially on house shows), and anyone that does will be sent to our efed version of Wrestler's Court. Soul Reaper will be the judge, jury and executioner of said E-Wrestler's Court. Now if you really feel that your character was misused(ie, you're RPing with a Sandman type character, and all of a sudden he's wrestling as if he's Santino Marella), or if you really feel that your RP was much better than the other one(ie, a three line RP somehow beating a three paragraph RP), then you can feel free to RESPECTFULLY PM me, or any staff member such as Shaggy, Reaper, James Jackson, Wench or myself. As far as wins or losses... this is an efed, it's not real life. Get over it! You can always go to Gordie's Office and make a post requesting a rematch.

14) The Sandbagging Rule- Please don't intentionally wait just hours or minutes before deadline to post your first RP, as we will mark off for it. If it can't be helped, that's understandable(but don't take advantage).

15) I, "Hollywood" Matt Shannon, am NOT to be referenced as the owner of SNW when posting newsbits, bios, promos, etc. Any bios, newsbits or promos that reference me as the owner instead of Gordon Heath will be edited by me or another staff member.

16) Please be sure to put mattshannonxcw@gmail.com in your address book so that you can be sure to get the mass emails I send out. Also, please check your spam folder as mass emails could accidentally get sent there. This is the only time I'll remind you all of this. I'm not your mother.

17) Match outcomes, I'd say around 90-95% of the time, will be determined by RPs. However, there may be times that the RPs are really close and we can't pick a winner because votes are tied. In this instance, we reserve the right to go with a finish that is used to advance a storyline(in other words, an angle-based outcome).

18) Starting with the Feb 13 edition of Saturday Night Onslaught, if you have just signed up for SNW, your first match in SNW will be a dark match that you must RP for like you would for any other match, even though the dark match results will just be a basic "Wrestler A def. Wrestler B." This is to ensure that you are serious about being here. Now if you've been here for awhile and you post a new character's bio, we won't require you to RP for a dark match as you have already showed us that you are reliable to RP. Also, we will post random pre-show dark matches that are not announced that you won't have to RP for, and at times may involve one of your long time characters. However, we will not have dark matches for PPVs. If you're new and sign up with a new character, and the next show is a PPV, then you can feel free to post character development promos as we won't book you till the next TV show.

19) As of 3/29/10, no characters can hold more than one singles title(note, this applies to characters, not handlers). A character can be a co-holder of the Texas Tag Titles and hold a singles title. But no more than one singles title.

20) Title Rematch Clause: As of now, if a champion loses his/her title, they can enact their rematch clause in order to have a rematch for the title they lost. The rematch will take place at a time designated by me. There will be a deadline to enact your rematch clause, and it will be designated by me, and you will be notified via PM. To enact your rematch clause, just PM me stating you want a rematch for the title you lost.

21) Do NOT pester me or any staff member about when results will be up. They will be up when we can get them up, and that is FINAL.

These rules may be amended at anytime.

The Official Rules! Apr 8, 2008 9:46:39 GMT -6

Post by Hollywood on Apr 8, 2008 9:46:39 GMT -6

Here are some guidelines to follow when posting roleplays...

1) Please no in ring roleplays. The show has not taken place yet, so how can someone be in the ring in a sold out arena? Backstage promos will be acceptable, but please no reaction from the crowd because again, there is no one in the arena to see the promo. Also, promos in a ring but the arena being empty will be acceptable as these can be taped days in advance. Also, absolutely NO RPs that are set to take place the day or night of the show. There's a major problem with this. If you post that RP several days before deadline, with ample time for your opponent to respond, he/she will look stupid when they respond with an RP that's taking place several days before yours. Any in ring RPs, or RPs that take place the day or night of the show, WILL BE DELETED! Also, this goes for in ring RPs at ANY show, even shows not affiliated with SNW.

2) Unless given permission by another handler, only your characters can be used in your roleplays. You can make up other characters to interact with your wrestler(i.e. the wrestler's sister, or if they're going out to eat, obviously a waiter would interact with them). If you have been given permission to use another handler's character, be sure to post an OOC note stating you have permission. The exception to this will be if you're in a tag team or stable with someone. In that instance, you can RP with your partner's character without having to ask permission, but please keep that person's character true to how they're supposed to be RP'd. Also, the RP will only count for the person who posted unless a)it was co-written and you denote that as such, or b)the other person said they absolutely cannot RP and have allowed their partner to RP for them.

3) Swearing: After thinking about it, the promos themselves that we post(roleplays) wouldn't really be shown on TV, but rather on the internet, so swearing could realistically be allowed. The way we'll judge RPs as it pertains to swearing is if the situation or character calls for it. For example, Rhino in ECW cussed a storm, but it fit his character as he was a ruthless animal. Whereas, you almost never heard Cyrus swear unless it was in the heat of the moment. So basically, swearing is allowed, but how it's judged when judging RPs is at the sole discretion of the booking committee.

4) When the booking team judges RPs, it will be quality over quantity. So if you can only post one RP, no worries. We won't vote for someone because they posted 3 RPs to your 1, because it's very possible that your 1 RP could be better than their 3.

5) Do not rudely question the decision of the bookers. If losing a match is ever going to be a problem, then it's best for you not to be here. However, if you are unsure about how you're being booked or if you need to know why we booked something a certain way, then you can PM or IM me on MSN in a respectful manner.

6) No making matches or challenging for titles unless we grant you permission.

7) Yes, there are different styles of RPs, and we welcome many different styles. However, please use common sense. If you're new to efedding and have just started, then it's normal to only be posting a paragraph or two because you're trying to get your feet wet in the world of efedding. But keep in mind you'd be expected to improve upon your skills. At the same time, it is not necessary to write a big pointless stories that have nothing to do with the match you're going to be in, or the angle you're in. That's what the Character Development RP board is for.

8) From here on out, all promos will be looked upon as being on camera. If it happens in the promo, it's fair game for your opponent to rip apart in their promo. So basically, dreams or "thoughts in one's head" won't be possible(this is a WRESTLING efed, not Alice in Wonderland). Flashbacks would only be possible if it's described as being footage shown from old videos.

9) Please refrain from linking to your RPs to another site(otherwise known as using a web layout). It's easier on everyone if they can read your RPs right off the bat inside your post. The only exception to this is if you're using one of the SNW businesses as your setting(such as Dunpork's House of Bacon, the Reconsider Lounge, etc) or your locker room. Then, and only then can you link your RP because it's still here on this forum. However, linking it to another site(for example, making a free Geocities website where you post your RPs) is strictly prohibited. There's no way to tell if you've made changes to your RP(such as changing what your character said if you got facts wrong), so in essence, it's cheating and unfair to your opponent. Not to mention some of these free websites could be harboring spyware, malware, viruses, etc, or can freeze up other people's computers. First time offense, you'll be jobbed out. Second time offense, you'll be suspended(not booked) for one show. Third time, you're gone. Again, the only exception to this is if you use one of the businesses or your locker room.

10) I would've thought that this was understood amongst efeds, but apparently it's not. Addressing the match you're booked into in an RP is part of the criteria of judging RPs. However, if the RP is posted in Character Development and is a Character Development RP, then that's different.

11) If you're CHARACTER is going to reply to someone's RP, do it in your own thread. No posting replies, in or out of character to other people's RP threads.
*EXCEPTION* If the other handler has given you permission to do so, or if you're in a tag team/stable with someone, then we can make an exception for this rule.

12) While I have a rule in place that you must have someone's permission to use their character in an RP, there will be an exception. If you are in the same stable or tag team with another person's character, then you can use their character in your RP without their permission. Just be sure to portray that character the way they should be portrayed. If this is the case, the RP will count toward your character, not the other person's, unless the other person has notified me or someone in SNW management(Wench, Hellspawn Silvus or Soul Reaper) that they won't be able to RP.

13) Joint(co-written) RPs will count for all parties involved that helped to co-write the RP.

14) OK, maybe I'm nitpicking here. lol.. But when referring to the SNW Texas Championship or SNW Texas Tag Team Championships, try to remember to include the word Texas. It makes your wrestler look dumb if he/she can't remember the name of the company's top prize. I know I let it go for over a year and didn't hold anyone to it, but that's why I clearly state on this site that the rules can be amended at any time.

15) As of now, we will be having house shows in SNW. However, you don't see everybody and their dog on the roster cutting promos at said house show, as house shows are more to showcase the wrestling talent of the promotion. So for now, I will not accept in-ring promos from house shows. However, you can write up an RP backstage, in the locker room, outside the arena, etc of a house show, where your character is talking about the match he/she just had, then hyping up his/her upcoming match at the next televised event. Just no in-ring RPs.

16) There is not to be any kayfabe breaking in RPs. Any RPs that break kayfabe will be deleted and you'll be jobbed out in your match, even if you post another RP. Just to clarify... this is NOT related to you RPing your character one way in one fed, and RPing him/her another way in another fed. For example, Sean O'Brien is injured in PCW, but not here in SNW. I don't have a problem with that. I'm talking more on the lines of basically saying "Yeah, this is an efed and wins and losses are determined by who can talk a good game." Also, a clarification... we won't automatically disqualify for certain wrestling terms such as "jobber" depending on the context of the word(as it's possible to use a word such as jobber or jabroni without it breaking kayfabe).

17) If the promo you are posting is for your match, and it's a promo you've written previously at another fed and you're simply copying it here, the promo will be deleted and you will job out for your match. Second time this happens, you will be suspended for one show. Third time, you will be kicked out of the fed.

18) If the promo you are posting isn't for a match and it's for character development purposes, and you're copying a promo you've written elsewhere, you MUST post an OOC note stating that you've posted this elsewhere. If you do not, the promo will be deleted and you'll be given a warning for your laziness. The second time you do this for character development, you will be kicked out of the fed.

Post by Hollywood on Apr 8, 2008 9:47:36 GMT -6

Please abide by these guidelines when you sign up a character for the efed:

1) First and foremost, you MUST use the sign up template when posting a singles bio for your character. Any bios posted that use another template from another fed will not be approved and you won't be booked until the proper template is in use. This is to keep the writers from getting confused when trying to locate important info to use when writing matches.

2) Refrain from using established finishing moves as basic moves. Exceptions will be DDT variations, powerbomb variations, submissions, superkicks, spears, suplexes and aerial moves(ie shooting star press, 450 splash, etc).

3) Do not use the same pic base for your character as someone else unless you and that other person are forming a team of twin brothers/sisters. The listing of what pic bases and theme songs are taken can be found at the following link:
snwefed.proboards76.com/index.cgi?board=signupsheet&action=display&thread=5

4) Do not use the same entrance music as someone else unless you and someone else are forming a tag team/stable.

5) Be realistic. Yes, I know that Vader was able to do a moonsault back in the day, but you never saw him do a 450 or shooting star press. And you'll never see Rey Mysterio gorilla press slam Great Khali.

6) When signing up a tag team or stable, please post separate individual sign ups in the Sign Up Sheet board first.

7) When posting your profile and using the template(s), please remove the messages that are in paretheses. This will make it easier for the staff to read your profiles.

8) SNW is starting off as a Dallas/Fort Worth based indy fed that will run shows at smaller venues. So please refrain from putting pyro or lighting effects into your entrance description. However, you can post a second entrance description for when SNW plays a bigger venue(i.e. Will Rogers Coliseum or American Airlines Center). Any entrances with pyro and such will be IGNORED on our regular TV shows that play at smaller venues.

9) Only fictitious wrestlers please! The only way we'll allow a real life wrestler on the roster is if it's the actual wrestler himself/herself signing up.

10) I have done away with the rule of how many people can claim any one finisher. Just make sure not to make them basic moves in your bio. Also, from here on out, you are allowed only 2 finishers in your bio.

11) If you make a change to your character's bio(s), you MUST post a reply in that character's thread. This helps the writers, plus we the staff will be able to keep potential sign ups up to date on what pic bases and theme songs are taken.

12) Anyone using a finisher as apart of there normal move set need to edit this to make it one of your 5 signature moves, we do not allow moves like Stone Cold Stunner, Diamond Cutter, Angle Slam, Peoples Elbow, etc. These moves are established finishers for real federations and as such will be treated as signature moves and finishers. The exception to this are variation moves like the Razor's Edge or the Last Ride. They are in principle just powerbombs, with Last Ride being a Jackknife Power bomb, and Razor's Edge being a Crucifix Powerbomb. However if you want these moves to be apart of your regular move set please use their variation name, not there finisher name. Anyone caught using a finisher move within there regular moves list or caught using a variation move with a unique name will be asked to either change the move to a signature move, or for variation moves asked to rename it to it's technical name. Anyone who does not follow this guideline must understand that we the bookers reserve the right to make changes to your character sheet to fix the problem, (e.g. rename a variation move or remove the move from your list) Should we do this we will leave a edit line in your character profile explaining what we have done and why.

13) Try to avoid using more than one pic base unless it's absolutely necessary, ie one pic base if your character wears a mask and another for when he doesn't. We can let that slide. Otherwise, don't bogart pic bases.

14) SNW will refuse wrestler sign ups for inanimate objects, midgets, animals and any characters that can be deemed unrealistic(ie, murderers/rapists on the run from the law, martians, etc). If you're unsure about the character you're signing up, ask me first. We will, however, allow wrestlers to be accompanied to the ring by animals, midgets and inanimate objects, for example: Frankie for Koko B. Ware, Hornswaggle for Finlay, Head, the mannequin head for Al Snow, Matilda the dog for the British Bulldogs, Damien and/or Lucifer(pet snakes) for Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Now we may book a match with a midget or inanimate object from time to time for a storyline purpose, i.e. Al Snow having to wrestle Head for the Hardcore Title just so Hardcore Holly could have a shot at the belt, Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon vs Doink and Dink, etc. However, as stated above, no signing up singles wrestlers bios for such characters. If you want an animal, inanimate object or midget to accompany your wrestler, you will be allowed to post a sign up for them in the Manager/Valet Sign Up sub-board.

The Common Sense Sign Up Rules:
These are rules that apparently I have to put up in the sign up thread, but I shouldn't as these should be common sense.

15) When listing your pic base, please post the name of the person that is your pic base, not just the picture. Please keep in mind that most people here may not have heard of the person who is in the picture you posted, so listing the name of the person is VERY important.

16) When listing your theme song, please distinguish between the band and the song by putting quotations around the song. Just because you know the song doesn't mean everyone in the world does. And please keep in mind that a lot of musicians are rather obscure, so if we haven't heard of the musician who sings your theme song, then chances are we haven't heard of that song either, so it's very confusing as to what we should be listing as the song blasting over the PA when writing your character's entrance. In other words, this is how it should look:

"(insert song here)" by (insert musician here)

or

"(insert song here)"- (insert musician here)

or

(insert song here) by (insert musician here)

Post by Hollywood on Jan 5, 2009 18:09:05 GMT -6

These will be the rules for RPs as it pertains attendance.

1) If one person RPs, and the other doesn't, then the person who RP'd will automatically win by squash match. I don't care if this is the main event of our biggest show. If you want the match to be great, you need to hold up your end of things as far as RPing goes.

2) If neither person RPs, then I reserve the right to job both characters out in a tag match against jobbers, as well as book an impromptu match.

3) Starting with Onslaught on 10/12/08, if you are booked against a jobber and fail to RP, you WILL lose to the jobber.

4) If you cannot RP, please let us know ahead of time so that we can make the appropriate changes to the card. We understand that real life happens. However, you have until a deadline that I will set at my discretion(depending on if its PPV and you have two weeks to RP, or a TV show and you have a week to RP) to let me know that you can't RP. If you don't let me know by the time that deadline passes, your character gets jobbed out.

5) If you're not booked on a show, you will not be required to RP for that show. However, you can post an RP if you want, but do so in the Character Development board or SNW Business Ventures.

6) If you're inactive for a lengthy amount of time without telling us of your whereabouts(in other words, if you haven't requested to be put on LOA), we'll copy and paste your wrestler's bio in the inactive wrestlers thread.

7) If you don't bother to RP the first time you're booked, you will not be booked again until you post an RP in the Character Development board to show us that you're serious about being here.

8) As of December 27, 2008, we will stick with the rule that if you're not booked, you're not required to RP. However, if you RP in the Character Development board or SNW Business Ventures sub-boards when not booked, we will take that into consideration if somebody no-shows. So if Wrestler A RPs for their match and Wrestler B no-shows, but Wrestler C who wasn't booked RPs in the Character Development board, then Wrestler C will get an impromptu match against Wrestler A. Obviously, Wrestler A would still win, but the match would be even and there would be a rematch the following show so that Wrestler C gets a fair shot. Now please note that if everyone RPs and someone who's not booked RPs in the Character Development, then we can't guarantee the person not booked who RP'd a spot on the card.

9) If you notify us that you will be taking an LOA and may or will return, we will reserve your pic bases and theme songs for your character(s). However, if you do not come back within a reasonable amount of time and it appears that you won't be coming back, we will free up your pic bases and theme songs.

10) If you no-show more than twice without a valid reason within a one month period, none of your characters will receive title shots for two months. Even after posting a roleplay in the Character Development board or in the SNW Business Ventures sub-boards, your character will be booked like normal, but you'll still have to wait two months for a title shot.

11) If you no-show, but you notify us with what happened after the fact and it's a reasonable excuse(ie, lost internet connection, death in the family, etc), then we may still not book you for the next show, but may put your character in a surprise match up should you post a Character Development RP. Also, what happens to your character when you no-show will depend on when you tell me what your circumstances are. Also, we may a bit more lenient(as in waving certain consequences if the excuse is valid) should you RP for another one of your characters that was booked. And we'll be lenient if your reason is valid.

12) Late RPs will be moved to Character Development. They will still not count toward your match and you will lose(if you hadn't posted an RP beforehand), but losing the match and not being booked will be the only consequences for posting your first RP past deadline as we'll see that you had intended to RP. However, do not take advantage of this. If this is abused, we will take appropriate action with you.

13) Would've thought this was common sense, but apparently not. Even if the match you're in has a pre-determined outcome agreed upon by all parties involved, you still MUST promo for your match.

1) The SNW Business Ventures RP boards were created to make the place a bit more lively and put even more fun into the game. The RPs posted in these boards don't need to be lengthy or even the best ever, unless of course you're using them to RP for a match you're booked in.

2) If you have to post an RP to be re-activated after no-showing, you can RP in one of the SNW owned business establishments to be re-activated if you don't want to post in Character Development.

3) If you're having writers block, you're more than welcome to use one of the SNW-endorsed businesses as the setting if you're RPing for a match. Just be sure to put "Match RP" as the subject title, and be sure that you post an OOC note at the bottom of your RP reminding peeps not to reply to your post that is going toward your match. Also, when posting your match RP in either one of the business ventures or in your locker room, please go ahead and make a post in the proper show RP board, posting a link to your match RP that is posted in the business ventures or locker room.

4) Please note that you still cannot attack or use another person's character without their permission in the Business Ventures boards. One difference between the regular RP rules and the Business Venture RP rules is that you are allowed to reply in someone's RP thread in the Business Venture boards, but it MUST be in the form of a roleplay. Now let's have fun with these boards, shall we? More businesses may be opened in the future.

5) If you want your RP to be continued by a certain person, you must post an OOC note at the bottom stating "To Be Continued by..." and then whoever you want to continue the RP. Otherwise, if no such note is posted, then anyone can continue the RP.

6) Feel free to use these boards to begin storylines and/or feuds(without attacking another person's character unless given permission). Also, in these boards, you can challenge someone to a match for a future show, ie "I have a business proposition for you. How about a match next week on Guys Night Out?" However, you cannot challenge for titles unless given permission by me as the SNW booking committee decides who receives title shots.

The Official Rules! Jul 6, 2010 21:55:45 GMT -6

I have created a new set of sub-boards for you all to roleplay in, giving all of you your own locker rooms. You'll notice that stables have been grouped into one locker room. Now, for the rules pertaining to the locker rooms:

1) Anyone can start a thread under anyone's locker room sub-board. However, you must abide by the rules set forth.

2) You are not to vandalize anyone's locker room in any fashion unless you are given permission by the handler or co-handlers of that locker room. If you are asking permission about vandalizing a locker room that is handled by a group of RPers, then everyone in that group is to confer about the person asking permission.

3) If you only want a specific person responding to your post, please post "TBC by..." and then the name of the person you want to reply at the bottom of your RP.

4) If you're having writers block, you can feel free to have your promo take place inside your locker room and it will count toward the match you're booked in.

5) You can challenge someone to a match on a future show in their locker room. However, they have the right to refuse the match.

6) You are NOT allowed to challenge for a championship belt in someone's locker room. You can, however, challenge them to a non-title bout, and if we're impressed, we MAY grant you a title shot(however, it is not a guarantee).

7) If you want to destroy your own locker room, ie your character is pissed that he/she lost, then that is fine. Just do not destroy someone else's locker room. Now as for locker rooms handled by more than one person... be sure to confer with everyone in the group before destroying your own locker room to see if it's cool or not.

8) These locker rooms are located at the Gordietorium. Please do not write descriptions that the scene opens up in your locker room at "the American Airlines Center" or any other venue SNW hosts shows at when making a post in the Locker Room boards. The locker rooms that are part of the Gordietorium are open 24/7.

9) As of April 18, 2009... In order to receive a locker room, you must roleplay when you're booked. If you no-show for a match after receiving a locker room, we reserve the right to delete your locker room and move your RPs located there to another RP board that is appropriate. However, we will wait till we hear from you and see if your circumstances for no-showing are adequate.

10) If you do not see "To Be Continued by" or "TBC by" posted at the bottom of someone's RP in the locker rooms and/or business ventures, do NOT post a response in that person's RP thread unless you've been given permission. If you do post a response in that person's thread and you've been given permission, please make a note at the top of the RP that you've been given permission. If you don't make such a post, I will delete the RP even if you had permission... COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!

11) This should go without saying, but if an RP that's posted in the locker room and/or business venture is counting toward the RPer's match, do NOT post your response to it in their thread. Make your own thread in response to what they said.

Made a slight change to article #2 under "SNW E-Fed Rules and Somesuch." Just updating that SNW runs bi-weekly. No need to post that you have read and understood the rules for that update(unless of course you have just joined here and haven't signed that thread yet. lol)

Completely replaced article #12 of the E-Fed Rules with the following rule:

Knowing when you are booked is YOUR responsibility. We are not your babysitters, and won't always be able to tell you if you're booked. Now if there are dire circumstances, such as you won't be able to log in for some amount of time, then we can make arrangements to let you know if you're booked, but do NOT take advantage of this as we have lives too. It only takes about five minutes to log onto the boards and look in the Upcoming Cards to see if you're booked.
